Category Archives: Dance Party!

Hey Ladies,

So one of the things I don’t practice enough is the whole adornment side of tribal fusion. We have some KILLER costuming (take a look at Mardi Love’s stuff!) and we should play with it more.

For our next class, on October 30th, let’s adorn ourselves! Feel free to bring belts, coins, tassels, scarves, jewellery, and whatever else makes you happy. Skirts, harem pants, leggings… whatever! I’ll bring some things to help deck everyone out (do try practicing beforehand to be sure you can dance safely) and otherwise remember to have fun- this is the adult dress up night.

Don’t stress- just enjoy!

See you on Sunday!

Hey ladies,

I’ve had a couple requests for music —

like the playlists I use in class.

For some unknown reason, I can’t seem to put together an easy “buy these” list in iTunes to share out… so you’re going to have to make do with the following boring old list, and look them up in your favourite e-music provider’s store.

Start with any fun pop song you like to warm up (I rotate these)

Kraddy – Dub 17

Radio Laria – Three Quarters

Jade CANADA – Process S

Desert Dwellers (Love and Light Remix) – More Than Anything

Lilly Wood & Robin Schultz – Prayer in C

Infinity Ink – Infinity

The White Stripes (The Glitch Mob Remix) – Seven Nation Army

Bassnectar – Heads Up

Fat Mechanic (White Label Remix) – A Silence of 3 Parts

If you have these or buy these songs, you’ll definitely recognise some of them– a few are included in almost every class playlist I use (Dub 17, Three Quarters, Heads Up, and either Infinity or Prayer in C are my favourites for classes), but I’m always searching for new music. Feel free to listen to other stuff by the same artists, or remix artists, and at the end of the day, dance to what feels good.
